Deuteronomy 10:1–11

At that time the Lord said to me: Hew thee two tables of stone like the former, and come up to me into the mount: and thou shalt make an ark of wood, 2And I will write on the tables the words that were in them, which thou brokest before, and thou shalt put them in the ark. 3And I made an ark of setim wood. And when I had hewn two tables of stone like the former, I went up into the mount, having them in my hands. 4And he wrote in the tables, according as he had written before, the ten words, which the Lord spoke to you in the mount from the midst of the fire, when the people were assembled: and he gave them to me. 5And returning from the mount, I came down, and put the tables into the ark, that I had made, and they are there till this present, as the Lord commanded me. 6And the children of Israel removed their camp from Beroth, of the children of Jacan into Mosera, where Aaron died and was buried, and Eleazar his son succeeded him in the priestly office. 7From thence they came to Gadgad, from which place they departed, and camped in Jetebatha, in a land of waters and torrents. 8At that time he separated the tribe of Levi, to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and to stand before him in the ministry, and to bless in his name until this present day. 9Wherefore Levi hath no part nor possession with his brethren: because the Lord himself is his possession, as the Lord thy God promised him. 10And I stood in the mount, as before, forty days and nights: and the Lord heard me this time also, and would not destroy thee. 11And he said to me: Go, and walk before the people, that they may enter, and possess the land, which I swore to their fathers that I would give them.
